This list of the tallest buildings in Nashville ranks skyscrapers in Nashville, in the U.S. state of Tennessee, by height. The tallest building in the city and the state is the AT&T Building, which rises 617 feet (188 m) in downtown Nashville and was completed in 1994.[1] The second-tallest skyscraper in the city is the Fifth Third Center, which rises 490 feet (150 m). The building ironically was supposed to be 38 stories and 535 feet (163 m), but in typical Nashville fashion, the building was reduced in height.[2]
Skyscrapers first appeared in Nashville with the construction of the First National Bank Building, now the Downtown Courtyard Hotel, in 1905; this building rises 168 feet (51 m) and 12 floors.[3] As of 2016, there are 111 completed high-rises in the city.
As of 2016 there are at least 60 high-rise buildings under construction, approved for construction, and proposed for construction in Nashville.[4]
